Knighton to be Featured on ESPN's College Gameday

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – University of Miami redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Hunter Knighton will be featured on the Emmy-Awarding ESPN College GameDay Program at approximately 10:14 a.m. EST Saturday morning.

Knighton, who suffered heatstroke during a February, 2014 practice spent 12 days in a coma. He then awoke to his biggest fight yet, battling through rehab and finding the will to make it back to the football field.

When Hunter Knighton played his first collegiate football game at the University of Miami this past September against Bethune-Cookman, it was an accomplishment that just last year seemed impossible.

ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi has Knighton’s story. ESPN College GameDay airs from 9 a.m.-Noon.

The Hurricanes return home this weekend as they welcome sixth-ranked Clemson to Sun Life Stadium. Kickoff is set for Noon and will be aired nationally on ABC.
